Bug#612924: texlive-base: fails to upgrade: 「cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/texlive-base/pdftexconfig.tex': No such file or directory」

[Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>]

Hi,

this error is hitting me on a regular upgrade from lenny
to squeeze. This is the first of many machines I will
need to upgrade this way. This may affect other FusionForge
or MediaWiki installations.

The workaround from Frank to run
ln -s ../texlive-bin/pdftexconfig.tex /usr/share/texlive-base/
works, but I’d rather have the upgrade not abort at all.

I am not using aptitude (in fact, I purged it) but:
# apt-get --purge dist-upgrade

Thanks in advance for fixing this in squeeze-p-u.

bye,
//mirabilos
